Yeah but you play to win.

Leader is essentially obligated to bet enough to cover second place if second place doubles up.

Second place isn't threatened by third, and since first place is obligated to wager enough to cover you, you can even bet nothing. After all your only hope is really that the guy in first misses.

Third betting there just doesn't make any sense.
